Tex isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but he was made captain so he must have a few smarts.

I don't condone racism in any way but I also believe in second chances.

Our key forwards aren't great and when on song Tex is a gun that could win us a premiership.

 

Mate, what on earth are you thinking?

 

Funny post, 

But to the keyforward bit, [censored] people overrate the impact good key forward have. Doing Carlton a lot of good having the Coleman medallist.

Our weakness is key forwards we would get him at bargain basement. We have all said things we regret.

Again I don't condone racism.

I don't condone Viney elbowing that bloke for a sustained period either.

It's a really interesting question. Interesting in the fact that you have asked given the current context.

Have you long being an admirer of Taylor?

Do you have the capacity to seperate bigotry and a players ability?

Were you presuming Taylor would never leave Adelaide?

Do you think Taylor is beneficial culturally for the Melbourne Football Club?

Confident you won't get any takers here....

Jake Lever thinks it’s a great idea.

Even before his latest demonstration of what a [censored] he is i wouldn't have him. He's a bad influence

And while we're at it i wouldn't have Tom Lynch either

EO - you are my favourite poster on Demonland and I have wondered if you have come from nowhere or just a poster who has changed their name.

In answer to your questions

1) I was an admirer of Taylor, particularly because he was best mates with Bernie Vince. My thoughts on him have changed well before this and I no longer respect him

2) of course I can seperate bigotry and players capacity. Can you?

3) I don't presume any player will stay with their club or within their state. Free agency provides an environment for them to move around

4) I would hope and believe Melbourne have a culture in place to bring in players like Tex and educate them. We have Whelan the Wrecker employed by the club to stamp out racism

We will start today’s meal with a

Walker had Eddie Betts in his side for years. And he obviously learnt nothing or didn’t want to

Not one of the posters bothered to say why.

Thanks for the feedback Wrecker, I appreciate it.

I've never warmed to Taylor, and personally, I'm all in favour of redemption, is Taylor a rigid/permanently fixed racist... I doubt it. 

But... I struggle to seperate on certain issues. eg: Very very pleased I haven't heard Michael Jackson on the radio in numerous years.

However it appears with Taylor, there have been a range of laddish, insensitive experiences over the course of his career, that wouldn't necessarily fit in with the culture that Goodwin has created (or society sanctioned). Do we as a club expend energy on one person to mould them at this point of time for them, or for us? Nah... I don't think so.

If we're to speak about the industry as a bubble of employment, then each club has indigenous staff/players, on your last point - it shouldn't be up to indigenous individuals to have to be present, to 'stamp it out'. 

Times are changing, and rapidly so... and thank gawd for that... just not soon enough....now would be great... How soon is now?

*cough* massive segue coming up...

Speaking of bigotry, as Morrissey once sang... 'How soon is now....

Randomly, if I'm fitting the lyrics  of that song on to either of the individual - I'm not sure which individual it fits, the victim or the perpetrator...potentially both.

"

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
 
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
 
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die
 
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
 
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does:

This is a brilliant idea. My only question is why stop at Tex? Why don't we also:

  • bring in Don Pyke to mentor Goodwin,
  • adopt the stare-down, and
  • get both to organise the 2022 pre-season camp?

I’m glad Adelaide FC can’t, otherwise he might have been playing this week.

 

I didn’t realise we had comedic threads on demonland now cause this is the most laughable thing I have seen since watching us in the dark days.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
